IPhoto broken - Empty window when I open the application - Help needed

Hi Guys,
Since my upgrade to Snow Leopard my iPhoto 09 has been completely broken. What I get when I start it up is an empty window. No pictures on the right pane and no menus on the left pane. I read many threads about iPhoto issues, and so I have tried to rebuild the library, reinstall iPhoto from the disk I got with my mac. Still the same problem: On startup, iPhoto opens with a completely blank window. All I have are the three buttons at the bottom left side of the window (+, info and enlarge). Only if I click "+" to add a new album the menus on the left pane (events, photos...) appear. A few clicks on these menus and iPhoto crashes. All this, done with a new, clean library. I moved the old one, and keep it for the day I'll get iPhoto to work again. Hope you guys can help. This is painfully frustrating.

Thanks for help Terrence
I am using Suitcase Fusion 2 and just activitating Helvetica Neue in Suitcase seemed to fix this problem I have had for several months.
I highly recommend doing the activation in Suitcase instead of just droping it into the System Fonts folder. This will allow for Suitcase to activate or deactivate the font. If you put the font into one of your folders, Suitcase can not deactivate, which might be necessary if your job uses a different version of Helvetica Neue.

I am using iphoto 6.0.6 and after opening the application it drops below the dock. I can see it when I use expose to reveal all open windows but once selected it drops below the dock.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

I have not accessed my iBooks for a month. When I opened the application a while ago I found that all my books except for 2books have disappeared. What happened and how can I retrieve my books?

One possible reason is have you synced to your computer's iTunes recently ? If so then it might have replaced the books that were on your iPad with those that are on your computer's iTunes library.
You should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes and then sync them back to the iPad : re-downloading. If you re-download them directly on your iPad then you may want to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, so that you have a backup copy of them and to see if it stops them disappearing from the iPad again when you sync (assuming that was the reason why they disappeard).

? appears on top of the window when I open the hard disk

When I open the Hard Disk I get a question mark on the top left corner. I'm including a screen shot.
Please advise. What can it be?

NO.
Have you tried clicking on the camera icon on the menu bar?
That should generate this window:
Click on Browse. Navigate to your desktop and select the desired screenshot. Then click on the Insert Image button.

Firefox opens two windows when I open the browser

When I open the browser it always opens two home page web pages
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed win 7 ultimate

I had the same problem.
Solved it by starting Thunderbird in a safe mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode), closed it and started normally...
Thunderbird showed 1 window afterward... I did play around before that with disabling/enabling extensions but at the end the safe mode helped... Hopefully this helps someone :)

I downloaded a application to my iphone5, however when i open the application i receive a message stating that my device clock apperars to be incorrect as a result you may experience problems using this application. How do i fix this issue?

Im trying to watch a show but because of this message its not allowing me to do so. Again the error message im receiving is " Your device's clock appears to be incorrect as a result you ,ay experince problems using this application" how do i resolve this issue?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 26.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

My IPhoto broke it says you cant open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete

it says this you can't open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete please help me

reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or (most likely for the limited information you provided)
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

IPhoto 9/10.6.1 Cannot Open the Application iPhoto as it may be damaged

Hi All,
Not sure if this is an iPhoto 9 issue or a Snow Leopard Issue. Since the upgrade I get an error message saying "The Application iPhoto cannot be opened as it may be damaged or incomplete."
I have repaired permissions, trashed preferences, re-installed from the iLife 09 DVD, reinstalled again from the SL DVD, all to no avail.
Starting from my 10.5/iPhoto 08 bootable back up works OK, the back up is a Clone of the main drive prior to installing SL and iPhoto 09 so the Libraries should be the same.
Any ideas what I should be doing here?

re-installed from the iLife 09 DVD
Did you trash the receipts before re-installing?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’

Ichat disconnects and reconnects airport when I open the application

iChat is disconnecting EVERY time I start up the application. It will then automatically reconnect. Every once-in-a-while it will do this during a chat or videochat. This problem only happens when I am on my wireless network at my house.
I believe my firmware on my Linksys wireless router is up-to-date. But I am on a university campus so I cannot connect to the Linksys ip-address page to confirm as they insist I must.
I have been searching through these forums and have tried changing a number of settings with no success. I also cannot find a thread with this exact problem. Please help, thank you!

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Can you confirm you have your own router in your room as well as the connection that makes to the Uni's network ?
Which Linksys is it ?
I take it you are trying to access the IP shown in System Preferences > Advanced Button > TCP/IP tab at the "Router IP" spot ?
